Once a week on Monday, Uncle Bardie shares a movie with his Readers he gives a big two thumbs up. It will simply be a short excerpt or a trailer. Uncle Bardie might even throw in a reflection on the movie. If so, it will make an appearance below the video. So pop some popcorn and give yourself a treat. This week’s pick is “Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children” (2016)
I thought I would end with a movie I thoroughly enjoyed. Tim Burton has given me hours and hours of entertainment. Edward Scissorhands. Beetlejuice, Ed Wood, Mars Attacks, Big Fish, Alice in Wonderland and Big Eyes. All thoroughly enjoyable. I had been disappointed with Tim Burton lately. After “Dark Shadows” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, I wasn’t sure I wanted to see another of his films. Then I saw “Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children”. Hurrah, Tim Burton.
Even John Huston made some bad ones. So I forgive Tim Burton for the bad ones because of all the good ones he’s given me. Even though I did not read the book, I have to say that this is one of his good ones.
Uncle Bardie's Stories & Such 
You stumped the panel with this choice, Don. II’d never heard of it, so I’ll’ have to watch it.
Bet you’re glad I’m here to give you good suggestions. Just doing my job. 🙂
Really? I saw this one with my daughter and I felt like it kind of jumped the shark at the end when Morgan Freeman started in with all the one liners.
It wouldn’t be a movie without a Morgan Freeman narration, now would it?
Good point!
I hadn’t heard of this one.
That’s why I bring them to you. 🙂
